Chad Roberts has been central to these efforts, as he's served as Overnight Editor for the D&C since Feb. 2007 - right in the middle of my time at the D&C from Oct. 2006 to April 2008. I would work nights, so I would cross paths with him often. We'd often see each other in the elevator - me leaving for the night, he off to a big fire or a murder.

Seeing the types of things he's done firsthand, I've thought a lot about how important that coverage is. And it is very important. Also, it wouldn't be possible without the new technology today, that allows him to capture video/audio/photos and put together really compelling slideshows and pieces. I just wanted to take a second to recognize their extraordinary work and share it with others.
